  • 4-6 Large Baking Potatoes about 2.5 lbs peeled & cubed
  • 4 tablespoon Vegan Butter Earth's Balance

  • 3 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast

Method
 

Prepare Potatoes
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until fork tender & very soft.
  2. Drain the potatoes and pour them into a mixing bowl.
  3. Add butter, milk, salt, garlic powder & nutritional yeast. Mash with mixer or immersion blender. Set aside.
Turkey Filling
  1. Preheat oven to 375°
  2. Using a cast iron or oven safe pan, heat oil over medium heat and brown ground turkey. Break up lumps and drain if needed.
  3. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, thyme & rosemary to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are softened.
  4. Lower heat and stir in the broth & marinara sauce to the meat mixture.
  5. Sprinkle flour over top. Bring to a simmer and stir for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Remove from heat, and spread mashed potatoes over the filling using the back of a spoon to smooth the top.
  7. Place a baking sheet underneath the cast iron pan to catch any drippings. Bake for about 20 minutes until sauce it bubbling. I like to broil for the last few minutes of baking time to get the potatoes nice and golden.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool 10-15 minutes before serving.
